This afternoon, Gabriola bid farewell to our dear friend Ken Capon who passed away two weeks ago today. Ken was the most community-minded person I've ever met and today the community remembered him with stories and songs, laughter and tears, food and fellowship and love. He'll be sorely missed and fondly remembered by one and all. Here are some photos of the event by fellow photographer Bill Pope.

Yesterday afternoon, Gabriolans gathered at the labyrinth at The Commons to honour our friend Kelly Berthelot who passed away suddenly last summer. She was only 22 years old when she left us but her energy, spirit and love of life continue to inspire the community she left behind. This beautiful bench was carved by master artist Rick Cranston from a red cedar that came from Nathan Tinkham's place. A maple tree was planted just beside the bench and both will welcome all who visit the spot.

The Model A I posted the other day was a coupe with a rumble seat. This is a beautifully restored sedan. If you don't look too closely at the gas pumps at the left edge of the frame, this photo might've been taken fifty years ago though not on Gabriola.

And speaking of art, I'm participating (for the first time) in the annual Gabriola Studio Tour which starts Saturday and goes through Monday afternoon. Check out this promo video my wife Joelle made. If you're on the island, be sure to stop by our place which will be transformed into a photo gallery for the weekend. And while you're at it, visit all the other artists too.
